USA Guide 2026 : USA - Nationwide

Berger Montague’s nationally recognized Whistleblower, Qui Tam & False Claims Act Group has recovered More than $3 billion for federal and state governments, as well as over $500 million for our whistleblower clients.
In 2025 alone, Berger Montague’s whistleblower department obtained over $1.9 billion in post-trial judgments. Our 2025 successes include the $1.64 billion final judgment entered in United States ex rel. Penelow v. Janssen Products, LP and the nearly $290 million final judgment in United States ex rel. Behnke v. CVS Caremark Corp. With very few FCA cases advancing to trial each year—and even fewer succeeding—these two victories stand out as extraordinary achievements by our whistleblower department. It should be noted that both of these cases were declined by the Government and we litigated on our own through and including trials in both cases.
Few firms are willing to take the risk of fully litigating a qui tam case where the government has declined to intervene. Even fewer firms are willing to do so against large corporations. But we do. And we have a record of winning.
